Why am I sharing this information?
Longtime readers know that 2.5 years ago I ingested an Aleve tablet -- common name NAPROXEN -- and ended up hospitalized, fighting for my life.
My special Idaho vet Dr. Ward did everything she could to help, including the most important first step: getting me to the emergency vet at Midnight on a Sunday night, so that an IV of fluids could be started on me immediately. I was later transferred to Dr. Ward's care, and she nursed me back to health.
Here's a picture when I was under Dr. Ward's 24/7 care. The tube over Mom's shoulder is my IV line.
You can read a few of my posts about that time here (read down to Dr. Ward's informative comment and through all the comments to see all the love and support, which helped me get well) and here (my ten-day get-well mark). We also did blood work for several months afterward to monitor my health.
The whole experience was terrifying! Dr. Ward is amazing. Thank you, Dr. Ward. Thank you, all, for your prayers to help me heal.
Now here's a recent photograph of me all healthy and doing one of things I love: flying!

That is a scary story! My little sis Bailie is one to try to eat everything, but so far we have a good eye on her. Glad you pulled through from your incident.
ReplyDeleteWhat a scary time! So glad it worked out okay and you're healthy now. Great lesson to be learned.

Oh my goodness! How scary that must have been for you and your mom! Thanks for sharing this info, so hopefully others won't have to go through this. And thanks for the shoutout and for visiting Pooch Smooches! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many adorable photos!
ReplyDeleteThat had to be incredibly scary. So happy to hear you survived that horrible ordeal. Now, no more pill eating please!
ReplyDeleteWe remember all too well that terrifying incident, dear doggy godmother.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a super guide to snacking. I especially like the bit about shoe chewing being a compliment….

PS from Gail - it's scientifically proven that red wine and dark chocolate are good for humans. Isn't it?
That was a terrifying incident. We will check that plan out.
ReplyDeleteHi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a scary tale. No wonder my Human is constantly reinforcing my "leave it" command.
Y'all come by now,
